1''Airduct Anecdotes Anthology'', located [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3661429/1/Airduct_Anecdotes_Anthology here]], is a series of ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' one-shot fics and sketches, varying in genre (generally comedic, though there are plenty of sketches that take a darker turn) and protagonist - there ''are'' chapters about Frank West, yes, but even more delve into the activities of the Psychopaths and the Survivors during and even before the game.

3A must-read for any ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' fan starving for decent fanworks. The frequency of its updates can't be given (since the ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' fandom isn't exactly a bustling one, we may not be getting any more), but it's very well-written and an interesting expansion on the game's intriguing cast who arguably upstaged the zombies even without the background.

6!!This Fanfic contains examples of:
7
8* AlliterativeTitle: The fic itself is an example, as are several chapter titles (Agony of Adamac, The Craving of Crabbe, Troublesome Tompkinseseses, Blinded By Blood, Absconding from Adolescent Aaron, Alliance of the Alyssas, among others).
9* ArtisticLicense: Surprisingly, mostly averted, or at least never abused. Characters are built off but not changed, with the exception of the Hall Brothers and ''maybe'' Paul Carson, who are aged down - [[OlderThanTheyLook which actually makes sense]].
10* AscendedExtra: Most everyone.
11* CrossOver: [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Alyssa Ashcroft and the occasional S.T.A.R.S. member make appearances]], and A Mason Affair has a load of fun with names. Cheryl Jones is ''[[Franchise/SilentHill that]]'' [[Franchise/SilentHill Cheryl]], and Brock Mason is a relative.
12* DoggedNiceGuy: James to Sophie.
13* DrunkenMaster: Cletus.
14* HeterosexualLifePartners: Burt Thompson and Aaron Swoop, Jolie Wu and Rachel.
15* FriendlySniper: Jack Hall turns into one whenever the other "Willamettan Wise Men" are involved.
16* LampshadeHanging: Cooking Mindy Baker does this jokingly about Frank's extradimensional inventory space, ability to heal from bite wounds to the jugular by taking a swig of coffee creamer, and [[UnwantedAssistance Otis's inconvenient calls]] all in one chapter.
17* LetterMotif:
18** In Willamettan Wise Men - the titular characters of the chapter, so dubbed by Cletus, are James, Jonathan, and Jack.
19** "Three C-Psychos" in [[Franchise/StarWars Star Walsh]] (Cletus, Cliff, and "Clown").
20* MayDecemberRomance: Sophie Richards is an assistant to deaf-mute Sid Carmack, who is definitely significantly older than she is, and likes him on a non-professional level [[DoggedNiceGuy to James's dismay]].
21* MoodWhiplash: [[CainAndAbel Troublesome Tompkinseseses]] and [[CrazySurvivalist Blinded B]][[WellDoneSonGuy y Blood]] are each sandwiched between some of the more fun sketches.
22* OddCouple: Mindy Baker and Paul Carson as of Cooking Mindy Baker, though in a platonic sense.
23* ParodyEpisode: [[Franchise/StarWars Star Walsh]] and [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Small Chain Saw]].
24* RunningGag: "GRAAACE!" Manipulations of the word "Pachamama" also show up more than once.
25* ShoutOut: After a contact lense slips and he readjusts it, Jack reads a poster on the wall of a CD store to check his vision. It's for an album by one [[Franchise/AceAttorney Cynthia Stone]], who he recalls having met an early demise by Thinker-shaped clock.
